Serving Barnwell County and it's neighbors since 1852
The Blackville-Hilda and Williston-Elko schools have combined TAG programs this year!
On Tuesdays, we have 3rd and 4th grade TAG at Kelly Edwards Elementary and on Fridays, we have 5th and 6th grade TAG at Macedonia Elementary Middle School.
Our first big unit of study for the year is a deep dive into the culture and history of Mexican Independence Day! The students have been learning all about the heroes (and villains) of Mexican history and the stories behind how Mexico gained its independence from Spain years ago. We even got to try lots of different Mexican candy, which the students loved! We will also be studying the culture and history of the celebrations of Halloween and Thanksgiving in the next few weeks, along with learning lots of new vocabulary and playing games based on strategic and critical thinking.
We’ve got an exciting year of learning and growing together ahead of us so be on the lookout for more TAG pictures and projects in the schools!
